Halfway to Dawn Photo: Rose Eichenbaum Photo: Rose NOTE In 1999, after my company’s last appearance at BAM’s Next Wave Festival, a commercial producer approached me about rewriting, choreographing, and directing the musical Rose Colored Glasses that Billy Strayhorn and Luther Henderson began but abandoned in 1956. Although that project did not make it to the stage, I was humbled by Strayhorn’s life path and vowed to someday return to the genius of his music. Though partly responsible for one of the greatest bodies of work in American music history, Billy Strayhorn (1915—67) remains largely unknown beyond the jazz community. With Halfway to Dawn, I am seeking to excavate the deeper truths of the life of this famously private, out and gay, artist, thinker, and activist. The piece conveys the facts of Strayhorn’s life through a video-projected timeline, while simultaneously exploring the emotional undercurrents of his journey through abstract video art, dance, and his own brilliant music. There is no relationship between the timeline and dances beyond their tones, textures, and throughlines of emotion. —David Roussève Halfway to Dawn MUSIC (in performance order): “Hues” Composed by Billy Strayhorn Recorded music performed by: The Dutch Jazz Published by Billy Strayhorn Songs, Inc.

  • Mikhail Baryshnikov Exhibitions
    Mikhail Baryshnikov Aside from being renown as a dancer, Mikhail Baryshnikov has practiced photography for over 30 years and is now also known for his dance photography. His photographs capture the emotions of dance, they are full of vitality, rich colour, movement and grace. He effectively blurs movement portraying the dancers as somewhat alien or angelic. Despite having retired as a dancer himself, Baryshnikov explains that he is still a dancer in his mind and continues dancing through the images he captures. His process of photography involves being on stage with dancers. This closeness gives the photographs intimacy and insight; Baryshnikov’s lens is near enough to the movement to reveal its subtlety.

  • The San Francisco Bay Area, California
    The San Francisco Bay Area, Can disaster be a good thing for the arts? In the California San Francisco Bay Area, the answer is a qualified “yes.” A terrible earthquake has shaken loose mil- lions of dollars for the arts, while urban sprawl has boosted the development of arts centers right in the communities where people live. After the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989, many key institutions were declared unsafe and had to be closed, fixed and primped. Here’s what reopened in the past five years alone: American Conservatory Theatre (ACT), the city’s major repertory theater, for $27 million; the War Memorial Opera House, home of the San Francisco Opera and Ballet, for $88 million; and on the fine arts front, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, for $40 million; and the Cantor Center for the Visual Arts at Stanford University, for $37 million. Another $130 million is being raised to rebuild the seismically crippled M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, and at least $30 million is being sought to repair the Berkeley Art Museum. Within San Francisco itself, a vital visual arts center has been forged just within the last five years with the opening of the new $62 million San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Meanwhile the Jewish Museum, the Asian Art Museum, the Mexican Museum and a new African-American cultural center all plan to move to seismically safe buildings in the area in the next two years. Art galleries, on the other hand, limp along compared with those in Los Angeles or New York.

  • The Reinvention of Baryshnikov 96
    Daily Telegraph Aug 10 1996 He was the greatest dancer in the world. Now at 48 he is preparing to return to the London stage. Ismene Brown met him in New York The reinvention of Baryshnikov Photo Ferdinando Scianna/Magnum "Just to watch the Kirov company was like going to church, having a holy experience... when life was miserable the magic of dance was overwhelming" THERE wasn’t a pair of white ballet tights discarded in the gutter as we passed but there might as well have been - all the other symbols were in place. Coming into New York, there were skyscrapers ahead, and to my right a gigantic municipal cemetery, acre upon acre of tombstones. Even the building in which Mikhail Baryshnikov has his office is the Time-Life tower. The passage of time is always cruel to dancers, but never crueller than to the skyscrapers. All dancers know that their career is fugitive, but those who soar above the others have further to fall, and moreover they are flattered into believing that they have a special invincibility not accorded to lesser performers. Who dares tell them when time is up? Or is there another way? Up on the sixth floor, in a hushed, pale place more art gallery than office, a slight, lined man with blue headlights for eyes and a flat, warning voice walked into the room to meet me. “He was the greatest male dancer on the planet. His talent was beyond superlatives. He vaulted into the air with no apparent preparation; he was literally a motion picture.

  • Located in the Heart of Beverly Hills As the Cornerstone of the Golden
    Located in the heart of Beverly Hills as the cornerstone of the golden triangle, the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (The Wallis) officially opens its doors to the public on October 15-18, 2013 with a dedication ceremony and a series of Galas, followed by programming beginning November 8 with the Martha Graham Dance Company. This new venue transforms a Beverly Hills city block, facing Santa Monica Boulevard, between Crescent and Canon Drives, into the first performing arts center to be built there: a vibrant arts destination and a major cultural and education hub for audiences of every age, with two distinct, elegant buildings: the renovated historic 1934 Italianate-style Beverly Hills Post Office and the new, contemporary 500-seat, state-of-the-art Bram Goldsmith Theater. Together these two structures embrace the city’s history and future, creating a new artistic and visual landmark, and an entryway into Beverly Hills’ fabled shopping district. Within the treasured Post Office, existing spaces are transformed into the 150-seat Lovelace Studio Theater, a theater school for young people (opening in 2014), a café and gift shop. For its Inaugural Season, The Wallis will produce and present theater, music and dance, as well as programming for the family audience, with the participation of established stage artists Mark Brokaw, Leonard Foglia, Ricky Ian Gordon, Frederica von Stade, Maurice Hines, Marsha Norman, Jason Robert Brown, Emma Rice, Harry Gregson- Williams, and the Kneehigh Theater. The Wallis will enhance the live theatre experience through special exhibitions that will reveal another layer meaning to a show or presentation.
